Semoga cepat sembuh bintang hati!

Sape lah sudi nk blanja saya mkn?

Serius xrugi!

My Creative Cooking

I think the other day, was actually to babble on my cooking experiments. However, on the day I wrote the post, I did not bring my cable to connect my phone to the computer. So, here we go with the first experiment after the return of my husband.

The first one is the tiramisu,

I took the simplest recipe from MYR, which was contributed by one of my friend back in edinburgh actually. The first time I tasted this recipe, it was so marvellous, eating in during the summer outing at the farm, was reallu mouthwatering! Or, err, maybe the taste of the UK ingredients were different?

Here is another close up,

I modified a bit in the recipe which I add some lemon juice which is turn out very yummeh! Oh, all the ingredient can be found in Cold Storage especially for mascarpone cheese and lady finger biscuits.

Another experiment was popped out when there was a lot of bread skin leftovers, since Aqil will request to remove the outer skin of the bread to make his bread with jam.

Actually I was about to open the MYR to get the recipe out as I did once in using bread in the recipe but it turns out failed! So, this time, I was following my guts on the ingredient or I would say, just mixed what ever is there without discounting the right measurement of water and jelly powder! I used a little bit more water to have a jellyish pudding!


Here is the recipe that I made up.

3 layers bread pudding
5-6gm jelly powder
600 ml water - estimated! - kindly refer to the instruction at the jelly packet and add some more water
bread skin or bread - about 1 cup
1 sachet Hi-Goat - can use any other form of milk too or creamer powder, I used this because Aqil is allergic to cow's milk
1/2 cup sugar - you can increase or decrease the amount according to your liking!
pandan leave
2 teaspoon of brown sugar
Food coloring/ flavoring

Method:
On stove, heat up about 400ml water + jelly powder + sugar + brown sugar + pandan leave until it boils, then put on slow heat.

Using blender, blend together, the bread + hi goat powder +the remaining water of 200ml or more is OK. Blend until smooth.

Add the blended ingredient into the pudding mixture. Mix it well. Bring it to boils a bit then shut the stove.

Prepare 3 bowls, pour in the pudding into the 3 bowls evenly. Add different food coloring and flavoring to each bowl as you wish.Mix them well until the color evenly distributed.

Then, prepare a 7 inch x 7 inch square tin, pour in the bowl. Bring it to cool under the fan until the surface a little bit hardened.

Then carefully, using a spoon, pour in from side onto the top of the first layer until all have been used up. Bring it to cool.

Then, repeat the above step for the third layer. Bring it to cool under the fan before putting in the fridge.

So simple right? I was so happy when first cutting the pudding, I can see the three layers....:)


Happy trying!

Jom Skolah!

Lega 50% hati ni bila dah register sekolah utk Aqil pagi td. Register online, tp kene g gak skolah tu utk validation. Suami bising sbb ms register letak current address, takut tak xdpt tempat kt skolah tersebut. Maklumlah, sekolah tersebut dikatakan sekolah contoh kt area tu dan location pulak, mmg bukan area 1km radius dr rumah lah!

Kadang geram pon ada, sbb kementerian sibuk nk letak penempatan budak2 skolah kt sekolah yg paling hampir dgn rumah parents. Dah kalau parents 2-2 bekerja, relevan ke? Serupa gak, kalau emergency, kene call parents dr office jugak jwpnye. Jadi, kami decided nk masukkn sekolah on the way g keje, snang drop by, and tambahan, kompeni kini sdg dlm tempoh pilot implementation utk flexi hours, jd my view, xjadi masalah nk drop die kat skolah pagi2 on the way g keje 2 thn lg sbb sekolah tu ala-ala tepi jalan jer, kene masuk siket jer. So, strategik dah tu. Jarak dr rumah pon xjauh, 4 minit drive (kelajuan suami) dah sampai pon, kelajuan saya, double dr itu lah..ehehe..Jarak dr opis pon xjauh, tambah ade AKLEH, mmg 7 minit jer, leh sampai waktu habes skolah depan pintu pagar skolah. Hehehe.

Tapi sume decision, terletak pd kementerian, PPD daerah gombak. Jgn p letak anak sy skolah kt gombak, udahla.Kene pth blkg lak nk anta g skolah sdgkn saya mmg xfamiliar lgsg area gombak sana. Jadi, saya tawakal ajerlah, nak menipu, guna alamat org lain yg rumah dkt2 dgn skolah tersebut, sy rs unethical walaupon cara itu yg paling berkesan dan terjamin. Tapi sy tetap dgn keputusan saya, kalau dpt, Alhamdulillah, kalau xdpt, buleh buat rayuan, xdpt jugak, mungkin di tpt lain lebih baik utk Aqil & Asif...:)

p/s: Doa-doakan application Aqil nk masuk SK Tmn Melawati 2 diterima utk thn 2013 yer! Ameen.

Bestfren

Sebenarnya nak citer psl percubaan memasak saya, tp terlupa pulak nk bwk kabel utk transfer gambar. Nak cite menu-menu, kene tempek gambo ye dak...aiseh! Baru la terliur sket (kalu terliur lah kan!) bila baca entry tu. Lama jugak xupdate apa-apa. Sebenarnye xde idea tambah dgn Malas pon ada jugak.

Tp saya baca entry-entry terkini blog-blog yg saya mmg slalu follow xkira lah dlm list saya kt tepi ni ataupun tidak. Macam-macam berlaku dlm 2 minggu kebelakangan ni. Suami balik sekejap, nnt hujung minggu ni outstation balik ke tpt hari tu jugak. So, kembali lah saya bersilat sorang kt rumah dgn anak-anak yg makin hari makin lah bijak-bijak belaka. Ada ajalah idea diorg nk sepahkan rumah.Hehehe.

Citer psl 2 beradik ni, lega hati saya tgk keakraban diorg 2 org nih. Terasa dh berbayar kepayahan saya menjaga 2 org ms saya dlm pantang bila tgk diorg mmg betul love each other so much! Lelebih drpd mama diorg pulak. Maybe ramai xtahu kot, selepas sy lahirkn Asif, Aqil pon stay kt rumah, ms tu die baru 3 thn, saya jugak mandikn die, sy jugak suapkn mkn die, saya jugak melyn die spjg die dirumah termasuk tidokn die mlm2.

Anak-anak saya, kalau xde saya, xtahulah cemane, tp sy yakin diorg mmg buleh survive. Ada mama, mengader ajer lebih kn! Biasalah tu! Anak lelaki, haruslah tabah dan berjiwa kuat! Berbalik citer keakraban mereka, ms kecik2, yakni Asif masih blum lepas hari, Aqil suke cium-cium belai-belai adik dia. Mmg sy didik spy die sygkn adik die sejak adik lahir. Sebenarnya, ms pertama kali Aqil dtg jumpa adik die, sy sebak seolah-olah cam kesian kt Aqil sbb mebe lps ni sy mungkin xdpt bg perhatian sgt kt dia. Lagipon mcm-mcm dah sy dan Aqil lalui ms susah dan senang, ms sihat dan saket, mmg byk sy korbankn utk Aqil. Saya bersyukur, Aqil seorg yg lembut hati dan die mmg xberkasar dgn adik die. Terbalik dgn adik, agak kasar mungkin sbb bergaul dgn budak2 besar kt rumah pengasuh die kot. Ckp pun garau-garau. Jauh beza dgn Aqil, ckp pun manja dan agak sensitif.

Saya mmg learn day to day utk control anger sy dlm mendidik anak-anak. Frankly speaking, saya ni bukan penyabar sgt orgnyer! Tambah sy xpnah ade adik, jd sy xpasti nk sabar cemane dgn budak-budak ni. Jadi, mmg simpati tu lebih sket kt Aqil. Sbb mmg sy akan mrh kalau die wat slh yg berulang-ulang. Tapi bagusnya Aqil, die cepat belajar dr kesilapan. Kiranya, yg saya sound-sound kan tu, berkesan kt dia, dan die mmg berusaha utk xmengulangi kesalahan tersebut.

Asif lak, sgt witty. Die berkasar dgn Aqil, sampai Aqil menangis sbb kene gigit. Asif agak agresif orgnye, selagi xdpt ape yg die nak, selagi tu die akan memberontak sambil cium lantai. Kalau tak cium lantai, melalak sekuat hati! Tapi die mmg sgt syg Aqil, bgn pagi-pagi, die akan kiss pipi Aqil dulu. Nak tido, pun akan kiss pipi Aqil dulu. Balik rumah dr rumah bbsitter die akan kiss Aqil dulu as compared to org lain. Saya lega, terus hilang penat tgk keakraban anak-anak. Harap-harap diorg bestfren forever. InshaAllah...Ameen..:)
